What to buy when visiting a diabetic person

If diabetics have a sweet tooth, in order to improve the quality of life and obtain sensory and spiritual satisfaction, it can be used as a sugar substitute for diabetics. Because xylitol metabolism does not require insulin mediation, it does not raise blood sugar, but it can still provide calories. About 1 gram can produce 2-3kcal of heat.

Diabetic patients can be given xylitol injections for energy replacement if they are temporarily fasting after surgery. It is worth noting that diabetics must strictly control their dietary calorie intake, because the calories produced by xylitol should be counted in the total calories, so diabetics should not consume a large amount of xylitol, and too much xylitol will also cause coronary atherosclerosis and urinary tract stones. Xylitol may not require insulin in the early stages of metabolism.

However, in the later metabolic stages, insulin is required. Therefore, xylitol does not avoid the occurrence of glucose metabolism disorders, nor can it reduce blood sugar and urine glucose, and has no improvement effect on the symptoms of diabetic patients. It is also believed that the calorific value of xylitol is similar to that of sucrose, and xylitol can also synthesize glycogen without being restricted by insulin, so xylitol not only has the effect of flavoring and providing heat energy, but also does not cause blood sugar to rise.

Xylitol has a cooling sensation and a low absorption rate. Eating too much will cause diarrhea, so do not take more than 50g per day

Acesulfame potassium, also known as AK sugar, is chemically known as acesulfame potassium, which is much sweeter than sucrose and can be used as a sweetener in safe doses.
